title: Tracking turnover.
abstract: A pilot study was conducted testing the utility of a turnover costing and profile analysis system. By applying investment accounting principles, accession costs were graphed as a function of time. Graphs illustrating tenures of leavers were superimposed on cost curves to indicate accounting losses or gains. Optimum limits for work group turnover were determined.
